Package: extrepo
Severity: wishlist
Dear maintainer,
- most clearnet repositories are reachable over Tor. This is simple to
accomplish by using the apt-transport-tor package (in
packages.debian.org for a long time already) by using the tor+https
syntax in sources.list.
- More and more repositories offer alter alternative onions domains.
Even Debian's official deb.debian.org as an alternative onion domain.
https://onion.debian.org/
feature request:
Could you please add a feature to use either tor+https or tor+...onion?
The following options are already supported:
sudo extrepo enable whonix
sudo extrepo enable whonix_proposed
sudo extrepo enable whonix_testers
sudo extrepo enable whonix_developers
I am not sure how alternative onions option could be selected. In
/etc/extrepo/config.yaml to set this globally would be handy. However,
some repositories might have (temporarily) broken onions. Therefore a
--onion command line option would be handy. This should fail if the
repositories doesn't have an onion in its corresponding data file.
Kind regards,
Patrick
